Predict The Score allows fans to guess the final result, first goalscorer and the minute of the first goal.

Gareth Rogers, CEO of Southampton FC, said: “As a leading online betting exchange, Betfair offers Saints fans great flexibility and odds to match their needs.”

Betfair head of media, PR and sponsorship, Stephen Mault, added: “After such a successful season last year, we look forward to playing our part in Southampton’s remarkable success story this season and will offer our range of pioneering products, exclusive offers and promotions to fans of the club.”
